Bush, Cheney Concede Saddam Had No WMDs

WASHINGTON - President Bush and his vice president conceded Thursday in the clearest terms yet that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, even as they tried to shift the Iraq war debate to a new issue — whether the invasion was justified because Saddam was abusing a U.N. oil-for-food program.
This week marks the first time that the Bush administration has listed abuses in the oil-for-fuel program as an Iraq war rationale. But the strategy holds risks because some of the countries that could be implicated include U.S. allies, such as Poland, Jordan and Egypt. In addition, the United States itself played a significant role in both the creation of the program and how it was operated and overseen.
Ridiculing the Bush administration's evolving rationale for war, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry shot back: "You don't make up or find reasons to go to war after the fact."

Bush and Cheney finally admit that Saddam had no weapons program, but now pull a new one out of their asses - he was abusing a food-for-oil program.
Gimme a break! I mean, seriously. This is supposed to be a man that people see as a moral leader??? He lied, and lied, and lied, and then he lied again. I am simply stunned that ANYONE can stand him.
